New question! In terms of getting from the airport to the hotel, eating whilst I'm there, and getting back to the airport, roughly how much money do you think I'll need? I do get breakfast as part of the hotel package, and I'm not going to go crazy on food, so a bit of an idea might be helpful...

Sorry to hear that, Charles! Hope you're staying in the UK and that you'll still be around for Dragonmeet, etc.

I rescind my earlier comments. I am very glad Spain won. I still got £15 for Holland coming second, so it's not all bad. The goal was excellent, and it was fantastic to see how much it meant to the Spainish players. I suspect large parts of Spain have yet to go to bed...

I had tickets for the Death Star gig that was planned. It got cancelled. Not awesome. However, today at lunchtime I had a 20minute walk, as part of an actual desire to improve my fitness. I feel awesome because of this. Not terrifically awesome, but a little awesome.

Awesome. Will add you to the list.

As previously noted, I have Holland in the office sweepstake - if they win I earn about £40! C'mon the Oranje!

I think the Spainish tiki-taki will be too much for them. Plus, David Villa is the best striker at the tournament, bar none, for me. Barcelona signging him up before it all got started was a masterstroke!

The fact this thread has been saved from being closed, by people who are clearly awesome (including megamania)... ...IS AWESOME! Incidentally, I work for a British company that got taken over by an American company recently. We have a new Vice President in Charge of Customer Services* and, as...

I drew Holland in the office sweepstake - now they're in the last four I'm up by at least £2 (yay me and my big dreams!). Every game they win now gets more me money! Germany were awesome today against Argentina, and Spain just worked and worked to get their game won. Awesome stuff from both.

I'm going to get monstrously busy at work in the next few weeks, so unfortunately I'm going to have to pass. It pains me to say it, though.

Warren Ellis (original writer of the comic) is promising Helen Mirren with a sniper rifle. Thought the trailer looked awesome. Great cast.

I think it's safe to say that a fez is NOT cool. Bowties, however, are still cool.

I left for my rehearsal after England went 2 - 0. That was a diabolical performance.

So, I've realised I haven't selected a venue for this yet. Could anyone help out a GenCon newbie to find somewhere to actually host this? Plus, if I've got spaces left by the time the Con comes around could you help me find out where to advertise it on site?

Sadly, playing the part of Cogsworth in Beauty and the Beast means that missing rehearal is not really on. I'll watch the first half and have to keep up with the second half via other people's phones, I guess. :( My sweepstake pick of the Netherlands is looking good at the moment. Three wins...

Thanks! I've also noted recently that Wil Wheaton is now listed as an atendee, according to his blog. Good stuff!

Congratulations on the baby! Another gamer brought into the world. :)

Great stuff from England yesterday, and most importantly a better performance, never mind the win. Given us a bit of hope against Germany. Morrus - us finishing second in the group actually messes up my weekend! I've got rehearsal at 4pm on Sunday, so I'm going to have to be aware of the second...

Echoing what everyone else has said, the big thing to be aware of is the lethality of combat - it's easy for you to get taken down by a lucky hit. Be a bit aware of that - or, be really aggressive, heroic, prepare to have lots of success followed by sudden, immediate failure! And death. It's an...

I'm so awesome, Chuck Norris starts threads on internet messageboards about me.
